Abstract

With populations ageing across the EU social security systems are becoming financially unsustainable, as a shrinking labour force may no longer be able to provide for a growing number of older people. The paper focuses on the results of the book „Sustainability of the Social Security System – Demographic Challenges and Answers in Central Europe”, which project was inspired by very important economic and social issues. One of the conclusions was, most good practices have been related to the employment and rehabilitation of people with disabilities. This paper therefore summarizes the key fundings of disability policy reforms in the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. Reforms of disability benefits have been linked to active labour market policies, but there have been no major breakthroughs in employment.
